[LG Optimus 2x] Reis:
I'm having issues when trying to get to the SW Upgrade screen in the phone.

I removed the battery, and plug in the device while holding the vold down, but it only appears an LG screen, and then the Backlight buttons blink once and again, screen black and LG screen....

What is wrong? how could I get into the SW Upgrade?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] MPodlesnik:
One funny thing, but did you insert the battery back ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Reis:
No, is it needed?

I think that the other times I did it I never put the battery back
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
no, it´s not needed !
[LG Optimus 2x] Reis:
Nice!

So is there any other way to enter the SW Upgrade mode?
[LG Optimus 2x] MPodlesnik:
i mean after the successfull flash of S/W ? I always plug in the battery for the first start :?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
When I flash baseband, I don't remove battery. I do the following steps.

1. Power off Phone

2. Press and hold volume down key

3. Plug-in USB cable from PC to Phone

4. Wait for S/W Upgrade screen and remove your hold on volume down key

From there proceed with your Smartflashing.

Battery consumption?

So how is the battery consumption with 614? Also what is the source of this release? Was the BB image extracted from some official LG release?
[LG Optimus 2x] Harsh:
shivaji mahraj no source
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I don't even do that ;)

Reboot the phone from CM power menu whilst holding vol- and I'm in.
[LG Optimus 2x] yukkio:
Anyone more?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Ooooo

That's even better :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mike_52:
hey temasek, i take your 405 ril signed in your mediafire share folder but when i had flashed it, in the recovery it was write 606 ril installed O_o

It's a mistake or ... what ? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
405 RIL

MD5: 24ddcf4bee64be465de8a11756d78980

606 RIL

MD5: 91cabc9690e6deb4650d87e147e50929

Nothing is wrong with my zip. :)

flash this RIL405
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Dude

Mike_52 made a mistake on 606 RIL I suppose. I think he has the wrong MD5 for 606 RIL that's why he thought it was wrong. Both Rusty and my zip has the same 405 RIL (MD5 same).
[LG Optimus 2x] biasquez:
what ril version do you use with bb 0614?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
606 RIL, and gps.conf file from a Nexus One (with NTP server set to UK).
[LG Optimus 2x] cedrikk:
In my CM7,

I've got a confilct with DSPmanager and Volume+ ???

always if i use the phone!
[LG Optimus 2x] cedrikk:
you use a 606 Ril for 1035.21_20110614?
[LG Optimus 2x] Ph4nt0m_:
Yes, there is no new RIL for 614 baseband!
[LG Optimus 2x] Socratesx:
Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me where I can find the latest RIL? Thank you! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I have different ril saved in my mediafire shareholder. See my signature.
[LG Optimus 2x] Socratesx:
Thanks a lot my friend.

Just a question because I have not understand fully what is going on with the rils yet. Should I get the signed version or the unsigned, what is the difference? I guess I update with the cwm, right?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
The unsigned zip is meant for u to extract it from the zip and manually place to /system/lib to replace the existing ril.

The signed zip is meant to flash from clockwork recovery.
[LG Optimus 2x] chota_shivaji:
Any issues?

Any issues with this baseband and 0606 ril?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codey895:
Ok so here's the deal. I was putting a new Rom on my g1 which I've done many times before. Before I I put this Rom on I had to put certain aol and ratio on first. So I put the radio on successfully . And everything was fine (radio: 2.22.27.08) .but then I flashed the hoot (1.33.0013d) it work and its on my phone but soon as it did I noticed it turned s-on . And I'm sure that's what caused it. And I tried to restore back up roms and won't boot up. None of my roms will. It just gets to the G1 screen and shuts off and true to boot again.over and over. So my question is . Is how do I turn s-on back to s-off? Please help me
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
You had the same problem I was having. Which ROM are you trying to flash? I don't know if it matters or not if S is ON or OFF. Mine currently is S-ON. And up and running.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codey895:
Yoshiginger something. but I gave up. and just changed the hboot and radio back and that worked. but I got another question you might can help me with about my brothers magic. his s-off changed to s-on to. the only problem is on his the recovery isn't working. so is there anyway that I can flash a hboot through bootloader or any other alternate way like maybe terminal emulated?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
The other way I know is adb fastboot. He might be able to download the FlashRec.apk and install it on his phone. Then flash the recovery of his choice to see if the Recovery mode will come back.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codey895:

guys read

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

1.33.0013d is S-ON but modified a little so it doesn't have all of the normal restrictions

if you use 1.33.0013d and 2708 or 2825 radio you *must* use a compatible kernel

all of the solutions to your confusion are in that post linked above

in future you should take some time to read ( and understand ) things before doing

there is no excuse here ezterry did a very good job of explaining the requirements and noting the restrictions
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
ezterry's gingerbread is way better than yoshiginger imo

basically yoshiginger is an earlier version of ezterry's gingerbread with some cyanogen apks added

there is no good reason to use a cut and shut job when you can use the real thing
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
You can also try SuperAosp. It have 15MB root additional. I am currently using it. It also works with this SPL/radio combo. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
:D

I forgot to add that ezGingerbread is compatible with 32a 32b and 2708 radio, it has some black magic in it which installs the correct kernel for you

[Captivate General] smithisize:
Since ATT and TMo are merging, I got to thinking, this SHOULD result in better service (and by service I mean signal strength, 3g availability, etc), shouldn't it?

But, I'm left to wonder. When I had cingular, I loved them, and I loved their service. Didn't ever really have deadspots. Once ATT bought them though, my house became a near dead zone >.<

I would love to think that ATT would use the existing TMo equipment to strengthen their network, but I'm not so sure...

What do you guys think??

Regards

Smith
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
I think that any time that you reduce competition, especially when the US Government spent a decade and billions of dollars to split this exact corporation up, the customer will always lose.

I honestly don't think that AT$T will do jack **** to give their users a better experience. I think that their "4G" initiative is a perfect example of this - "Hey, I have a great idea. Get this - we'll take our existing 3G network and - now this is brilliant - we'll call it....."4G". Boom. Done. We don't have to spend anything on upgrading our infrastructure." (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/how-at-t-and-t-mobile-conjured-4g-networks-out-of-thin-air/43577)

Now I realize that I'm not being entirely fair to AT$T on this, but they are really not using any new technology in this supposed 4G network. It's all been around for 2+ years. To me, this equates to seriously and fundamentally misleading customers - which they have become seasoned veterans at.

Additionally, their network is severely overloaded. They don't have the trunk bandwidth to properly service all of their towers, even in rural areas. When they acquire T-Mo, they will get a lot of customers to add to this already overloaded system. It is unclear to me how much work they would be willing to put in to this new joint infrastructure. I'd wager that T-Mo will will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary for a fair amount of time if this acquisition gets approved (and I hope it does not).

In short, I think that this will absolutely not improve AT$T's network; I think it will do the opposite at least in the short to mid term. I think AT$T will continue their deceptive and manipulative business practices (forcing grandmothers on data plans because their phone has a screen big enough for them to see the phone numbers, etc) for a very long time. Reducing competition in this arena is a very dangerous game and it will only lead to the government having to spend a ton of our money to split up an evil monopoly. Again.

Just my $.02 though.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Completely agree with the above comment. I believe that the worst post of this is going to be the lack of competition that will result.as most companies already have a relationship of sharing cell towers service improvements will be limited if any at all
[Captivate General] smithisize:
I agree too... that was the experience when they bought cingular.

I love my cappy, but I may re-sign w/ sprint or verizon when my contract is up... ATT kinda, well, sucks d lol
[Captivate General] ccdoggy:
I dont use my cell data really at all, there is only Edge out by where I am and I am just fine with it. Always around a wifi connection and 95% of my data goes over wifi. Over cell i maybe do 100megs a month. Never had a dropped call that was not because i was in the middle of nowhere or my fault in 6+ years.

It is exciting to see what the network will be like once T-mobile towers get changed over. just think of the 4G coverage area.

While i do agree that less competition is a bad thing, the network i already pay for and am getting just fine coverage for my uses is about to get much bigger and much faster. That I am all for.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
For T-Mo users, yes. For AT&T users, not much.

Why ppl keep thinking AT&T bought Cingular?

It is other way around. Cingular bought AT&T and decided to drop Cingular name and use AT&T name instead.

I was with AT&T wireless before Cingular bought it. I have better custom service and can buy new phones as many times per year as I want on Premier account. Ever since Cingular bought AT&T, it's all going down hill. Not only I have to wait 2 years to qualify for discounted phone but also the price on Premier is usually $50 higher than non-Premier.
[Captivate General] Funzy32:
Same here.. Kinda ready to try new waters. Just bought the Thunderbolt. Want to try it out and see how it is..
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Nope. The history is too long for most to remember. Cingular (often referred to as Orange) first purchased AT&T wireless division (often referred to as Blue) and AT&T wireless name in 2004. SBC purchased rest of the AT&T in 2005. Google it. SBC is an evil corporation that everybody hates. Changing the name to AT&T is one way to try improve its image. It worked as most today has no clue who is AT&T really.
[Captivate General] amtrakcn:
What a dramatic history:D

Anyway, I agreefatbas202. AT&T really should invest to improve its network. Both coverage and data speed. Also stop blocking updates.
[Captivate General] groves226:
Backbone and Cell towers will now be shared, so better service for users, but the spectrum used will be intersting sonce not all phones are quad band for all their capabilites.

TMO users wil get the biggest boost.

Now about the user a few posts earlier complaining about ATT 4G.

TMO did it first and has a slower network. ATT was the last of the major carriers to call the small upgrade to their current tech 4G.

ATT users will get a possible boost since they can use more towers in their areas and this also depends on phone capabilities.

Everyone wins in this merger even when you look at price points and devices and plans. The monopoly point of view is ok, but with two other major carriers and multiple minor ones that argument is a smoke screen.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
it will be about a year before the deal is even approved by the government. so it will be almost 2 years before anyone sees changes.

so calm down for now...
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
Interestingly enough, AT&T held a majority of stakes in Cingular and Bell South (SBC) held the minority. Once AT&T and Bell South merged into a new company they dropped the Cingular brand and started marketing their wireless service under the "AT&T Wireless" brand name.

So when you loved Cingular, you were really loving AT&T/Bell South. :D

As for what is going to happen with the TMo network when AT&T sucks them up... who knows. However, if the deal does go through, I don't think they will dismantle the TMo 4G network, since AT&T needs it.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
AT&T gets accelerated 4G, and T-Mobile gets expanded coverage.

Theoretically.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Without competition AT&T is going to have even more ridiculous policies. That's what I'm most worried about.

T-Mobile was putting a brake on accelerating prices and also gave consumers more options like contract free pricing. I'm sure as heck that AT&T doesn't care about continuing that....
[Captivate General] rohith8055:
Pros: Wider coverage, better reception

Cons: monopoly, less choice for consumers and more control to AT&T (damn)

+1 AT&T could adopt a ridiculous pricing.

Wow, I've learned a lot in this thread haha never knew all of the history between cingulair and att!

Also, I thought ATT users would benefit most... all my friends with TMO have much better signal strength everywhere, higher speeds too lol so I'm surprised (though ATT's network is much larger and so it makes sense) that you are predicting the opposite.

But yeah, hopefully this will result in price drops... But w/o competition, it may result in price jacking >.<
